A.Dear Client,
In the first hearing of a legal case, both the petitioner and respondents play distinct roles. The petitioner, who initiates the legal action, presents their case, outlining the claims and arguments. This hearing is crucial for the petitioner to establish the basis of their case. The court may issue notices to the respondents, informing them about the legal proceedings.

For the respondents, the first hearing serves as an opportunity to respond to the claims made by the petitioner. They can present their counterarguments, evidence, or any relevant defenses. If the respondents do not receive the notice, it is essential for the petitioner to ensure proper service, typically through legal channels, and provide proof of notification to the court.

In case the respondents are absent, the court may proceed based on the available information and arguments presented by the petitioner. However, it is generally in the interest of justice for both parties to be present, and the court may take steps to ensure proper notice and participation.

Overall, the first hearing sets the stage for the legal process, allowing each party to state their case and facilitating a fair and informed adjudication. It's advisable for individuals involved in legal proceedings to consult with legal professionals for specific guidance based on the jurisdiction and nature of the case.
Thankyou
